Formscan By Tom Weekes - AKKADIAN EMPEROR concedes plenty weight but met interference here on debut and could be capable. Out of an unraced half-sister to three stakes performers, he was only 4/1 on debut and was staying on from off the pace until hampered in the final furlong. The fourth-placed horse won well subsequently and the selection should improve. Mary The Priest beat Port Louis by a half-length at the Curragh on May 1 and both have won subsequently, are dependable and ground-versatile - although Port Louis is now 4lb better off. Sea Singer finished nicely on debut and can progress while Hispanolita was green on debut and is also open to progression under a light weight. Lightly weighted Sli Na Ghealai's unraced dam is a sister to Irish Derby winner Soldier Of Fortune. Declan McDonogh does a light weight on Basilah Bear, a half-sister to two Italian winners while better-bred stablemate Alpha Cephei is a half-brother to Group 3 and Listed winners but is apparent second-string. Dramatic Entrance's dam is a half-sister to the dam of 2,000 Guineas winner Night Of Thunder but failed to sell at 45,000gns at an April breeze-up sale. Cloud Seeker's half-brother was a juvenile winner.
For two years old only that are EBF eligible and which had been purchased as yearlings or as two year olds at Public Auction under the hammer after 1st July, 2022 for #72,000 or less at a designated or specified sale and have not won more than one race
